To those who did the phone interview -  did you get your promised 20 points yet?  I believe they were only good to use in US shop.  They also gave the option to do it online and I requested that option and they sent me a bunch of questions to answer which I did.  I have yet to get any points though so I was curious if it was just me.

I got my points yesterday. I had my phone survey last Friday. I wasn't given an option to do the survey online, only phone call.

Regarding those of us who have a drier indoor environment, try a humidifier in your bedroom. Until I added one and an air purifier I would wake up with sinus headaches that were as bad as any migraine.

Thanks for this. I am dealing with this exact problem on top of chronic migraine. No picnic over here. Our place is geothermally heated and cooled, but the heat is always higher than it has to be which has left me feeling like I'm back in the Arizona desert! I plan to get a couple of humidifiers, including one for the bedroom. It's been awhile since I picked one of these up, so If anyone is happy with the output of their humidifier or air purifier, please comment (if permitted) or PM me brand names. I'd truly appreciate it as I'm on the market for both. (Especially purifiers as they are a little bit more of an investment!)

Memebox products are great but they are not full of magic. We gotta stay hydrated! ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks @@jmen

 
I really need to get a humidifier as well. It's so dry in our home that we are constantly shocking each other with the static and my nose was actually bleeding today. I've been trying all the home remedy type solutions, but there is only so much a bunch of damp towels can do.

Yes, I got my 20 points within 24 hours of the phone interview... plus a lovely surprise. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can only speak for myself and my skin type, which is sensitive and would be dry without K- skin care, but I LOVE the Winter Skin Revival Memebox. I use the 3 skin care products every AM and PM with the addition of the Secret Key Super Plumping Jelly as a moisture lock, of sorts.

I know the Winter Skin Revival Memebox is more pricey than the other boxes, but we now have a 15% off code for it, and points, so I got another. This is my twice daily " go to" treatment box for hydration.

I love the It's Skin Power Effector 10 serum after a gentle foaming oil facial cleanser, because it's not sticky and absorbs completely. Next, I apply the Goodal Phytorian Murumuru Seed Hydro Emulsion from the same box and it's excellent. Very mild and my face is already feeling so much more hydrated. The last item I use every night from the box is the It's Skin Collagen Moisture Cream, which is very pleasant and mild. We have forced electric HVAC units supplying heat in our house so the air is extremely dry.

The products in the Winter Skin Revival Memebox are well worth the price for my dry sensitive skin.

I also really love the Skinfood Raspberry lip care stick and the TonyMoly tangerine hand cream. 

Oh, and I used the Leader's Coconut Gel with Blueberry mask first off. Then I got a whole box of Leader's masks  a day or so later. Really high quality masks and ingredients. 

Anyway, I think the discount specific to this Memebox and the points make the box a very good buy for irritated or stressed winter skin, or to prevent winter skin issues. I think it's the best Memebox US box created thus far for usability of long- lasting and easy to use hydrating products during all the ice and snow.

 @@GirlyGirlie I was trying to figure out what to use my new points on and was hesitant on the Winter Skin Revival box because of the cost. Thank you for your review. I also have dry sensitive skin so this would make a great box for me too. =)

I have been complaining to my hubby about my dry contact lens, my stuffy nose at night, and he knows we live in a very dry area of the country.

So, I have to compliment him. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I called him at work and asked him what he thought about cool mist humidifiers vs. the ionic ones like the very expensive ones that Sharper Image sells for one level of a house.

He did some research on the subject since he is extremely knowledgable about these sorts of things, and surprised me with this one from Amazon.com: Honeywell Germ Free Cool Mist Humidifier HCM-350

I know to use distilled water only, to clean each washable part well, and to use a bacteriocidal solution and change water often, and filters every month. 

He also ordered the filters, bacteria- retardant additives, and a neat humidity monitor for our room that looks really complete and cost less than $10. 

The total for everything was just over $100. I'm still going " WOW, this is so great!!"  ( All items are being sent with 2 day free shipping with my Amazon Prime membership.)

I agree that topical moisturizer cosmetics can't make up for H2O in and on our skin. I drink 2 liters of H2O per day, at least.  I just wanted to share this product from Amazon in case a room- size humidifier might be what some of you are looking for. If this one works well, we will add more. I had decided I don't want a huge multi-room unit to maintain- too much can go wrong. 

THANK YOU so much for the suggestion for a humidifier. I wasn't sure if people really use them. The reviews on Amazon for the model we got are really positive.

I'm so glad, sweetie. I've ordered a second one and will " save it" for next winter. Nothing has a short expiration date. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
We are using a bionaire humidifier in the bedroom. It has cool mist or warm. We are using tap water but clean out the residual particles that appear in its base. They even provide a tiny brush. The air purifier was an expensive piece. It has a large slide in filter that gers replaced when it gives you the replace filter signal. Made by blue air. It has 3 speeds and I had to kick it into 2nd gear to end the sinus headaches. I think doing masks is helping as is lathering on the lip and face creams before the early morning dog walk. Knock on wood no chapped lips this winter, yeah!

 
I received my soothing sista palette today!  WOW - love the colors and think this is really a wonderful palette.  Swatches and stuff in the spoiler tag

soothing3.jpg

These swatches were done with 2 swipes, using no primer and my finger to apply to my arm.  I am showing two photos because I had different lighting conditions.

soothing5.jpg

  1. Sutro "Light dusty rose matte"  This to me is more of a light taupe that has a pinkish cast to it.   This is a good color as an eyelid base
  2. Valencia "Medium pinky-brown matte"  This is getting more into the pink color, but it is a light milk chocolate with a pink cast to it.  This is good for contouring. 
  3. Candy Rain  Metallic rose shimmer with silver micro-glitter"  This is just gorgeous!  This is a deep rose with silver shimmers.  The glitter is very fine, so it doesn't really look like a glitter, but a lovely shimmery shade.  This can also be used as a contour shade.
  4. Bae Area  “Metallic pink shimmer with iridescent glitter”  This is the lightest color and can be used as a highlighter.  It is very much a glitter and has quite the fallout.  It is a beautiful light pink glitter. 


 
I really liked the colors on the Soothing Sista palette.  I wish that one of them was darker though.  None of these are really good "crease" colors.  The mattes are my favorite and they're all very complimentary to each other.  The Bae Area Pink Glitter has some serious fallout issues even with primer.  It's a pretty color but eek...  I don't need glitter tears :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

But they are my favorite eyeshadow color scheme so they'll get some use.

I really like the palette too, Saffyra! I look better in pink toned neutrals, as they make blue eyes look bluer, somehow.

I wish very much this palette had been released before UD's The Nakeds 3 palette. Same pink toned browns, a whole lotta price difference. 

If you can wear creamy, almost powder shadows, the darkest XO Memebox color in the jar formula, not stick, called " Evening Dress" is really a lovely deep chocolate brown for blending in the crease.. 

 
I missed a few days reading this thread, so if this is a duplicate post, I apologize.

I just emailed Memebox about a missing item ( US shipment, and not a box) and I got the usual canned " We have received your message" email..I only have an email address for Memebox Global (Korea) so that's where the reply came from..

At the bottom of their email, there is a new ( to me) message. It says: Please be advised of the following:

Shipments to the US with the date of 1/23/2015 have not shown updates since 1/27/2015. This shipment is significantly delayed and we are currently working on getting these shipments out to you. If your question pertains to this shipment, we are already working on getting an update- which we will notify you as soon as we find out.

 
I wonder if the delays have to do with the LA port closure with several overseas shipments being held up due to labor dispute. I know there is a huge backlog at the port, several ships are waiting to get in. I know they did something to resolve the dispute but I don't think the ships are getting unloaded at this point at least not as fast as they need to be.

 
Can someone please send me the review rules for the restock boxes? I think I saw it on the addict page a couple of weeks ago, but can't find it now. Also the email address where you send the reviews. Thanks so much!

 
My last ever memebox is sitting at the post Office Depot ready for collection as was working yesterday so missed the postie. I do miss those pink boxes and the excitement of seeing new boxes. This thread was always buzzing with the latest box titles and unboxings but now its like the Marie Celeste. I miss memebox :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
